Marma

These educational materials are designed for children in the Chittagong Hill Tracts to learn their native language, Marma; the initiative combats minority language extinction, high drop-out rates, and cultural marginalisation under Bangladeshi hegemony. This self-initiated project began as a collaboration with Our Golden Hour and the three schools set up in monasteries by Maung Nyeu, a native of the Chittagong Hill Tracts obtaining his PhD in Education from Harvard University.

The second phase of this project was supported by a MEAD Fellowship awarded by University of the Arts London. See the Preface content, read an interview, or watch the TEDx talk.
